Supporting Inclusive & Accessible Workplaces
Clear communication helps workplaces function well for everyone. For Deaf and hard of hearing people, small adjustments in communication and awareness can make a significant difference to participation, confidence, and connection at work.
Workplaces can begin by building awareness through interactive workshops, which introduce Deaf awareness, communication strategies, and basic New Zealand Sign Language. Organisations looking to take the next step can work toward becoming a Hearing Accredited Workplace (HAWP), demonstrating a long-term commitment to accessibility and inclusion.
